Liu Trips Morreale to the Rail
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In a battle between the blinds, Calogero Morreale got in his last 60,000 and was up against Yinchuan Liu.
Calogero Morreale: K♣7♣
Yinchuan Liu: K♥4♥
Morreale had Liu dominated, but Liu took the lead on the 5♦4♣Q♥ flop with a pair. He improved to trips on the 4♠ turn, and the 7♥ river wasn't enough to save Morreale as last year's runner-up was sent to the rail less than 10 spots from the money.
